  • How to disable Versions for network shares?

    AFP share points with network shares works great, but Versions will lock a file that one user saves, and wont allow another user to overwrite the file because of it. Is there a way to disable Versions for networked files?

    Or perhaps even just disable file locking? Lion Server will work great for my organization, but only if I can allow more than one person open and save a file!

  • Can I enable simple finder for network accounts?

    Can I enable simple finder for network accounts?

    This was possible (drop dead easy) through MCX.  It was one checkbox.  If you are supporting older machines, you might still be able to push out MCX settings.  My experience with 10.8.x is that MCX is inconsitent at best.
    In Profile Manager...  Best suggestion is to look at creating a custom profile.  For what it is worth, this is the default MCX setting if the Simple Finder option was set on a user.  Note the InterfaceLevel = Simple.

  • Screen Sharing Broken for Network Account Admins Mac OS X Server

    Re: OS X 10.8.4, Server.app 2.2.1
    After replacing a failed Airport Extreme -- and the resulting changes in server IP address -- Screen sharing is now broken for "Network" account administrators. "Local" adminstrators can screen share successfully.
    When logging in as a Local Admin, the System Log contains a single entry:
    Authentication: SUCCEEDED :: User Name: localadmin :: Viewer Address: 10.0.1.6 :: Type: DH
    When logging as a Network Admin, a similar line appears:
    Authentication: SUCCEEDED :: User Name: testnetwork :: Viewer Address: 10.0.1.6 :: Type: DH
    followed by screen-fulls of other log messages, eventually ending -- a minute or two later -- with:
    screensharingd[77693]: uid 1034 not found
    screensharingd[77693]: unable to get width and height of display.
    at which point the client sees a "Error: Network connection lost." alert. 1034 is the UID of "testnetwork", as seen in
    dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -list /Users UniqueID
    So apparently, Network users are authenticated, but screensharingd cannot find the user.
    changeip -checkhostname returns "success". Just to be sure, I  "Updated the Host Name" as suggested by the "Network Configuration Has Changed" alert in Server.app -- problem remains.
    How does one debug this? Are there more comprehensive debug logging options available for screensharingd or login window? Anyone else seen this problem?

    Linc: thanks for your inquiry.
    Here are more steps I've taken to solve this problem:
    1) From a Time Machine backup to a test partition, I restored the server from before the failure of the base station and found that the login problems were present then.
    2) On yet another test partition, I created from scratch a new OS X Server. Added a local administrator, and a network admistrator and discovered the same problem: network administrators cannot screen share, although in this case, they are simply unauthorized.
    Using dscl, things look OK: there is a /Local/Default/Groups/com.apple.access_screensharing that lists only the admin group, and the admin group contains networkAdmin.
    Furthermore, I can log in as the networkadmin from the login window, as "Other".
    Furthermore, I can ssh into the server using the networkadmin credential.
    I used odutil to boost the logging OpenDirectory log level. The logs are very verbose, but to my eyes, it looks like OD recognizes the networkUser, but screensharingd fails to authorize. See logs below.
    Can someone confirm that screen sharing from network admin accounts works at all? Is there a way to elevate screensharingd logging to find out more about why it rejects network admins?
    TIA

  • How to disable UAC for standard account in windows 8.1 single language OS

    Hi,
    How to Disable UAC in a standard account on windows 8.1 single language OS.
    application for mobile modem (TATA DOCOMO) always asks for administrator password, in windows 7 I used to just set UAC never Prompt in admin account and same setting would reflect in standard user account and then users where not prompted for password but in
    windows 8.1 single language edition I have disabled UAC in admin account but in standard account the setting for UAC was still in default (notify me when programs try to make changes to my computer), if I try to set never, the ok button is greyed out with
    message saying that you must be logged in as administrator.
    And Group policy editor, local security policy are not available in windows 8.1 single language.
    can any one give command to disable UAC  using CMD.
    OR
    set registry to not prompt for admin password.
    Thanks in  advance..........

    Hi Ed,
    But in control panel -> user accounts -> Change user account control settings
     I can set the settings to always notify
    and default notify when programs try to make changes to computer.
    But I can't set it to never prompt because only administrator as power to do that and if I set never prompt in  administrator account the settings in standard user remains in
    always notify.
    so please let me know, if there is any other way to over come the problem.
    Main problem is application from unknown source always prompt for admin password.
    I need to disable it from prompting for admin password to run applications in standard accounts.

  • Setting Scratch for Network Accounts

    Hello,
    We hav a lab of 18 Imacs and 5 Mac pros. We are using OD on an Xserve and we would like to set the Scratch disk for FCP 6.0.3 to use an external firewire drive. The problem is each network account it wants to use the network Home folder. Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Local login capability for network accounts?

    Hi all,
    I'm setting up a local network at an office servicing about 20 different client machines (mostly just MacBooks). The goal of this is to accomplish some basic administrative taks, such as checking the status of/enforcing disk encryption, password strength policies, caching software updates, etc.
    Currently everyone is logging onto their machines locally and ideally we could have them merged into network accounts through a box that we have running OS X Server. I've got that set up and working with test accounts, but given that our users sometimes are working off-site or from home, I need a solution that could allow people access to their accounts when the server is unavailable (any time they are not on our local network). Is this possible? Are there any other workarounds that aren't too awkward?
    Thanks!

    There are three main types of user account.
    Local only - defined on the local machines with files being stored on the local machine
    Network only - defined on a server with files being stored on a server
    Mobile account aka. Portable Home Directories - defined on a server but when user first logs in to a Mac configured for this type of account their account is copied to the Mac along with their home directory, and thereafter password changes are synchronised between the server and Mac
    Most often Mobile accounts are used with laptops but this is not compulsory.
    You will need to use ProfileManager to manage the Macs and be able to configure a group of Macs to use Mobile Accounts. This is under Mac only - Mobility, and you want to then configure "Create Mobile Account when user logs in to Network Account".
    Note: With older OS versions you could set this up with Workgroup Manager and Managed Preferences but Mavericks needs you to do this via ProfileManager. ProfileManager is however backwards compatible with Lion and Mountain Lion versions.

  • Mobile Account Preferences visible on Menubar for Network Accounts

    On Mobile Accounts (setup with Profile Manager), acting as network account (home folder in server), the mobile account preferences are shown on the menubar. In addion, it says "last home sync" incomplete. Both are wrong according to my understanding.
    However it makes sense - and it if the case - if the account is really working as mobile account with local home folder on a e.g. macbook.
    Does anyone has the same issue?

    I have the same issue. No fix yet.
    One of my machines has joined the network and seems to be ok in almost every way...clearly with the exception of this way.
    I will post if / when I find a solution.

  • Firefox vs Safari. Which one is the best for network accounts?

    Hi,
    I heard some people complaining about Firefox taking too much server cpu? I don't want to make any mistakes since I have a lot of network user accounts.
    Does anybody has issues with Firefox?
    Thanks

    Firefox is better since it doesn't allow students to bypass the proxy.
    Example : in Safari, the students can type https://facebook.com rather than http://facebook.com to access the website.
    But Firefox proxy configurations have to be locked since student can change them.

  • Controlling email under parental controls for network accounts

    I use OS X server (10.8) to mange kids accounts at home, so they can logon to laptop or desktop and all there stuff is there.
    This works perfectly as does the profile server ensuring that they have their parental controls set.
    I've just stated to look at creating an email account for the older one and found that whilst there is a great 'People' tab in the Systems Preferences parental controls this doesn't seem to exist in profile manger at all.
    Does anyone kniow how to setup 'safe' lists of people for inbound and outbound email using profile manager or directory admin ?
    Thanks in advance

    Thank you.
    But does anyone know the default Parental Controls Settings, specifically under the Other tab?
    you can find them out yourself. make a new account and enable parental controls on it. then expand "other" and see what's checked and what's not checked.

  • Automatic service setup with network accounts

    Hi all,
    I'm having terrible trouble getting automatic service (e.g. iCal, iChat, etc.) setup to work with network accounts, either with network home directories or local home directories, and I can't work out what I'm doing wrong.
    When I log in as a local user and join the Network Account Server, all services get set up as expected, without problems. When I log in with a network account however, whether the account has a server-hosted home directory or a local home directory, services aren't automatically set up, I don't get the auto configuration wizard/dialogue, and attempting to join the network account server again fails. Surely there's a way for network accounts to have services automatically set up on initial login? Any ideas?

  • Completely disable SMS for my Skype online number....

    I don't want to pay for SMS messages when people should be emailing me anyway. How can I completely disable SMS for my account so that no one can send me texts? Thanks!

    I too would like to disable this "feature" as I don't use it, nor want it.
    Just yesterday, my Microsoft keyboard malfunctioned and sent a burst of SMS messages through Skype until it drained my account which contained the default $5.00 credit when I signed up. I don't particularly care about the $5.00, but I'm annoyed that by dumb luck the feature sent these messages to my director (various quantities of 1s) and about 45 of them. The only thing that stopped sending the messages was that my account ran out of money. Good thing that it's not configured for auto-recharge. I have another Skype account with money in it and to prevent a similar occurrence in that account, I'm now going to dump the credit by texting myself. In texting myself because my cell phone has unlimited texting it at least will not cost me more money.
    Depending on whether or not he has a text messaging plan on his phone this could create a nice little charge.
    We need to have the ability to block SMS messages just as we can with our mobile phones.

  • Parental control & network accounts

    Is there any way to set up parental control for network accounts?
    All my family member's accounts are of the network type, including the kids'. However, it appears only managed users can have parental controls turned on.

    Kevin,
    I wondered if you had found a way to access the various logs available on Leopard client but when using network accounts. I'm proposing using it in a school but without the logging facility it won't be feasible.
    Thanks

  • How can i configure autologin with network account?

    right now when i go to user preferences for network account, login window and options are non manageable for network users.
    im using network accounts on all public machines and now after reboot they all require manual logon, how can i configure autologin to use network account

    Did you try authenticating with a local admin account to get into the login options from a network user account? Then you might be able to set auto login for that account. I've set network accounts as admin users on particular machines that way.
